Yesterday, Bridesmaids director Paul Feig confirmed that he’s slated to direct Ghostbusters 3. Feig’s involvement represents a rethinking of the long-planned sequel, with director Ivan Reitman (who helmed the first two installments) and screenwriter Dan Aykroyd stepping aside to allow the franchise to be entirely reimagined by Feig and screenwriter Katie Dippold (The Heat).

Though Ghostbusters 3 is expected to begin filming next year, a cast has not yet been announced. Feig says the new film will star hilarious women, and Bill Murray (a.k.a. Peter Venkman) suggested such potential stars as Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy.
